Yes, I did. It was pretty simple.

Pushed it through. The gourmet to the cable ripped a bit, but isn't too noticeable.

What year is your model?

I don't see why it would differ. The first picture is of under the hood going inside the footwell. The 3rd is under the footwell.

You might have to loosen the hood cable. It isn't hard to reinstall.
